ETSC 265 Three-Dimensional Modeling
Using SolidWorks
Spring Quarter 2018
 
Final Grades

All three sections of your Final Evaluation - including the FDP Score - have been graded and the Grade Sheet has been fully updated for the quarter. 

 Your graded drawings and your compiled Peer Evaluation Form booklets are available in the box in the CAD lab HT120.  They will be  available until late on Friday and by request after that. 

Congratulations Josh!  The best Final Design Project as judged by the class - through your Peer Evaluation Forms - has been determined.  Renderings of all of the Final Design Projects can be found in the Final Gallery Section below.

FDP Design Winner:
"Rocket Engine" by Josh Maclurg

Congratulations to all that passed the recent CSWA exam.  Your CSWA certificates can be found at 
CWU's CSWA Hall of Fame.  And use your CSWA certificate as a tool in your job search!  Beyond the classroom, this certificate allows students to compare their SolidWorks modeling skills (from parts, assemblies and drawings) to anyone else in the World!  And this class did great!   Next stop, the CSWP!

Week 6:

For the WDE on Monday of Week 7:

-  Out of Class CDP: Complete the assemblies as described in the Week 6 Instructional Video Page for both the Sarrus Mechanism and the Hammer.  This will give you the background needed for creating the assembly for your own FDP.  No new parts will be created this week.
-  In Class CDP: Will be an assembly of the Schmean's Hook and a 3D Sketch driven stainless steel hook.  To prepare for the WDE on Monday,  make certain the Schmean's Hook part is correct per the drawing in the Week 2 section above.  We will design the steel hook, and create the assembly in class
-  FDP: Work on modeling more parts - 5 total for this week - with 6 features on average - 1 assembly.  Parts will include a Rib feature, an embossed or debossed feature with Sketch Text and, for extra credit, a part with a Design Table.  For more information - see the videos on the Week 6 Instructional Video Page

All files submitted for your WDE for Monday will be "Pack and Go" zip files of your four assemblies due this week including the Out of Class Projects (Hammer and Sarrus Mechanism), your FDP assembly file and your In Class Project assembly file (Schmean's Hook Base and Stainless Steel Wire) that we will work on during class time on Monday.  No credit will be given for assemblies that can not be opened (please check what you send).  View the "Pack and Go" video on the Week 6 Instructional Video Page.

More information and the Week 6 WDE checklist will be posted soon.
